Balkans are mixed. I doubt anyone in this forum can claim purity. The isolated places probably have maintain some purity but even they are mixed(like North Albanians with Montenegrin).
You know Novi, your not the only one who likes to joke about me and what i am. My Brother calls me "Hey Arab" sometimes as an insult-joke just to get me going. I only know my immediate ancestors were Albanian. But probably later than that i would probably most likely be Greek. So i think you are what you feel i guess. The same goes for other ethnicities. Claiming racial purity i think its stupid especially in a region such as Balkans where the conglomeration & movement of different races have happened through centuries.
TerroReign has more in common with Northern Albanians than i probably have. Yet i probably have more in common with Epirotans because thats where i was raised. Yet South Albanians have problems with Greeks. Montenegrin Slavs have problems with Malesori.

Fanoli, in the end you are gonna claim you are my cousin or smth? Where from N. Epiros? An old girl friend of mine from Crete, got married to a greek from albania, but he was not from the minority, he was from Argyrokastro a city with an albanian majority. Well he said he had greek ancestry but he didn't consider himself greek. Also his albanian ID stated him as albanian and not greek. He told me, that during Hodja years, he enjoyed very much the yugoslav TV!! He said he liked serbs, altho in the kosovo issue he supported the albs. Also he told me, that an alb from the south and an alb from kosovo are not understanding each other. Still i have a problem to differentiate accent between greeks from minority and greeks from central albania. Also their accent is much much different than ours (S. Epirots). I cant understand it. p.s. sorry for the off topic. ps2: ( Novi Glad your grandpas maintained their Serbdom!

Technical skills are inherent in a nation? In other words there is something inherent in the physical anatomy of a 'nation' ( a ''technical gland' perhaps) that endows special technical abilities? If you believe anything like the above then you are truly stupid. You're poor English isn't just because its not Greek, it seems to be a reflection of your poor reasoning. You'll do well to study a bit of Greek philosophy, particularly Zeno and Aristotle. ;D The productive quality of a 'nation' is mainly dependent on its accumulation of capital and the efficiency of its division of labor. The only way you accumulate more capital and sustain growth for the 'common good' is through a free economy which comes through strict enforcement of property rights and a minimal to no interference by the state in the economy. There is no national or racial totem pole. There is simply economic freedom ( or lack there of) , division of labor, trade, and capital accumulation. These are the factors which determine productive capabilities. Less centralization by the state permits more economic freedom which translates into more creative energy being released. I am unaware that Byzantium did anything remotely special with public health care that the Islamic Arabs, Chinese bureaucracies, West European city-states, Churches, have not done. Public health care doesn't exactly mean hospitals only. It is a state funded activity. Hospitals popped up all over the world in their own fashion before, during, and after the Byzantine Empire. You almost sound like this Greek friend I have that I study with regularly. He's very intelligent ( ok, you're not completely like him) but he tries to insist that everything is Greek and that the only thing that matters in the world is finding the 'Greek' in everything. But even he admits, unfortunately modern Greece is only a shell of its former glory in the classical period. I see very little correlation between modern 'national' Greeks and the value and distinction of the classical Greeks. Don't take that as an insult please.

Not only you still fail to comprehend anything i wrote, you resort to trying commenting on arbitrary "portions" of my texts, omitting words (like the word "TENDENCY" abobe) for which you hope you could compose a counter argument. Well, the more lines of text you write the more mistakes you do, and i will not dance on you silly tunes. I will not deal with your idiocy any more. Have fun by yourself.
